Wilson threw at USF twice in four days in the company of pitching coach Dave Righetti and bullpen catcher Bill Hayes, and the reports were good - as in "not far from major-league" good, according to one source.

Wilson, who recently has been spotted in the Marina District, threw about 35 pitches Friday and another 25 or so Monday.

"We try to stay in touch with his process and monitor his progress," said Evans, who wasn't at USF for Wilson's workout. "Ultimately, his rehab is our responsibility. Again, he's a Giant, and we've been in touch with his people throughout the winter as he considers his options."

Wilson, coming off a second Tommy John surgery, is a free agent. A session in front of teams' scouts is in the works.

"For me, personally, I like to think everybody playing the game is playing it clean. I really do," Posey said. "I do think the majority of major-league players are clean. That's the bitter part.

"The sweet part is, I feel very fortunate to be playing at a time when Major League Baseball is making such a concerted effort to clean the game up. I think that's the general consensus. Everybody wants a level playing field."

On the direction baseball is taking with its testing policy, Posey, who won the National League MVP award a year after Braun, said, "It's been pretty evident for a while now, there's not going to be any exceptions to the rule. Whatever is agreed upon with the joint drug agreement, that's what's going to stand."

Briefly: Ryan Vogelsong will begin a minor-league rehab assignment Tuesday by throwing two innings (or 35 pitches) in an Arizona League game. ... Joaquin Arias, who lost 9 pounds after undergoing an appendectomy, is eligible to come off the disabled list but isn't ready.

Giants leading off

Left out: Minimizing the iffy defensive work of his left fielders, Bruce Bochy chuckled and said, "I love Pat Burrell. Believe me, this is not a shot at him. We found a way to win with him" in left field.
